We had our 'Meet the band' night yesterday, too, but the band wasn't able to march the show.

Basically, we stepped outside, saw a looming black raincloud of death...and headed to the stage to play inside.

 

And then we had a movie night where we learned that percussion girls + scary movies = not a happy combo.

looming black raincloud of death... lmao wow

 

 

I hate when we have to go inside because of rain, unless it's pouring, I rather stay outside and tough it out

[b_sax_agent]

I hate rain regardless.

 

 

Plus the woodwinds can't bring their instruments out in the rain.

[sweetmac_05]

I'm definitely not a fan of rain either.

 

Our Thursday rehearsal basically consisted of:

"Pit set up outside."

"There's a storm on the horizon...move inside!"

"Oh, never mind, it's done. Sunny skies ahead. Get back on the field."

"OH MY GOUDA, LIGHNING, TORRENTIAL RAINS, RUUUUUN!!!!"

 

And so on.

We didn't get too much rehearsing done, pit-wise...

But we definitely cut down on our set up time!

[b_sax_agent]

I guess there are some uses for it...

 

We rehearse music when inside.

 

And make 15,000,000 changes.

 

Like in our first movement, the woodwinds rest for like 2000 measures then come in, but we're thinking about playing random stuff to represent impeading chaos.
